The Mystic Seven 



SCENE. — The stage should represent a sitting-room; 
one chair and a table at l. Books, vanity box, etc., on 
table. Stage could be set on a porch or on a lawn 
amid shrubbery with rustic furniture. — Time, Satur- 
day morning. 

{The Spirits enter, dancing; give a Scarf Drill or a 
Scarf Dance, at the end of which they form a semi- 
circle with the colors in rainbow order, as follows: 

Violet, Purple, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red. 
Beauty, Knowledge, Truth, Work, Service, Happiness, Health) 

Truth. Behold ! The Mystic Seven, we ! 

Nature's colors fair, we show ! 

{All extend scarfs with right hand.) 
Possess us, and you'll all agree 
'Tis then happiness you'll know. 

Beauty. The earnest Seeker of Beauty, 

I shall always strive to aid. 
Service. Service and Work go hand in hand ! 

(Service and Work clasp hands.) 
Work. With our aid, your debts' are paid. 

Health. With perfect Health I crown your life, 

If earnestly you will seek; 
Happiness. And always Harmony, ne'er Strife, 

Doth true Happiness bespeak. 



6 THE MYSTIC SEVEN 

Knowledge. Without Knowledge, your life is naught! 
Therefore, ye who seek life's truth, 
Take careful heed ! Learn all you ought, 
If you'd perfect be, forsooth! 

Truth. Truth above all, you e'er must place, 

If another Rank you'd win! 
Truth brings you every grace, 
Molds your life, without, within ! 

Happiness. Behold! The Mystic Seven, we! 
We never can dwell apart; 
Happy we are, as here you see, 
Work with us, head, hand and heart ! 

(Spirits give a short dance and resume places in a 
semicircle. ) 

Service. We have been sent hither from the realm of 
Mystic Thought by the powerful Spirit of Wohelo. One 
who seeks to " Follow the Law " needs our aid. Dear 
Sisters, let us all work together faithfully to help the 
Seeker ! 

All. Agreed! {They clasp hands.) 

Happiness. Here she comes ! 

(The Spirits dance slowly round, forming a large 
circle. The Girl enters the circle from the rear. 
The Spirits form a semicircle at the rear of stage, 
disclosing the Girl who is reading the Cam.p Fire 
Manual. Girl zvalks slozvly to front of stage.) 

Girl (reading). " Seek Beauty, Give Service, Pursue 
Knowledge, Be Trustworthy, Hold on to Health, Glorify 
Work and Be Happy." It's too difficult ! (Throws book 
on table.) I can never be a Camp Fire Girl and I do so 
want to join! The girls all have such good times! 
(Takes up book.) "Seek Beauty ! " If you do not hap- 
pen to be beautiful by nature, how can you attain it? 
(Sits down by table, takes vanity box and looks at herself 
in mirror. ) Well, I am not so plain, after all ! Perhaps 
by the judicious use of powder , . , etc, 

{Proceeds to fix up face, using plenty of rouge,) 



THE MYSTIC SEVEN

Beauty (advancing slowly, stands back of her, shakes 
head solemnly). No, my dear girl, that is not the way 
to " Seek Beauty ! " Beauty of mind is the best Beauty 
to possess. 

Girl (face half colored, stops, thinks a moment, sud- 
denly rubs off color and says decidedly). No! I shall 
not try to improve upon Nature ! I shall take care of my 
own complexion and shall seek graces of the mind ! They 
say the soul is reflected in the face. If I make my soul 
beautiful, it will shine through my face and I shall seem 
beautiful. (Beauty nods her head approvingly.) My! 
I am preaching myself a regular sermon! Where's my 
novel ? 

(She takes book from table and reads. Beauty re- 
tires slowly, shading her eyes with scarf. The other 
Spirits shake their heads sadly.) 

Truth. I fear we can never persuade her ! 

Service (to Work). Let us try! (They come for- 
ward, hand in hand, on tiptoe, and stand back of Girl's 
chair.) Mother has a headache this morning. Wouldn't 
it be nice to do something to surprise her ? 

Work. It wouldn't take long to clean the dining-room ! 

Girl (stirring uneasily, throws down book). I can- 
not seem to enjoy that story this morning! (Takes 
Manual from table; reads.) "Give Service — Glorify 
Work." Service and Work apparently go hand in hand. 
(Rises.) I think I'll surprise mother by cleaning the 
dining-room. 

(Goes out, singing, followed by Service and Work, 
dancing and waving farewell to the other Spirits. 
The Spirits give a short dance and form semicircle 
again. ) 
Happiness. I wonder where Work and Service are? 
I should have gone also ! The Seeker will need Happi- 
ness ! 

Knowledge. Yes, but she needs Knowledge more 
than anything ! 

Health. I do not agree with you! If she have not 
Health, she can never attain any of the Points of the Law i 



8 THE MYSTIC SEVEN 

Happiness. Gently, Sisters ! Do not let us quarrel ! 
We are here to help the Seeker! We shall each have a 
large share of her life hereafter. 

Beauty. Here they come ! 

Enter Service and Work. 

Service. Oh, Happiness, we should have taken you 
with us ! 

Work. Yes, she did the work thoroughly but did not 
really enjoy it. 

Happiness. I'll follow here hereafter ! 

Enter Girl, wearing apron and sweeping cap and carry- 
ing duster. She throws duster down, takes off cap 
and apron and throws them down also. 

Girl. There ! I'm glad that's finished ! I do hate to 
clean ! What shall I do next ? 

(Sits down, takes up Manual.) 

(Knowledge and Health start forzuard; Knowledge 
gets there first.) 

Knowledge. You need me next, dear Seeker ! 

Girl. I'll " Pursue Knowledge " and study my lessons 
for Monday. Oh, dear ! I do hate to study ! 

Happiness (coming forward). If I arn with you 
when you " Pursue Knowledge " you will enjoy studying ! 

Girl. I suppose I might as well be cheerful about it ! 

Happiness. That's better ! Being happy will always 
help! 

Girl. Oh, dear! I never can learn this history! 
And we have a test on Monday! I hate dates, unless 
they are filled with candy ! I'll tell my teacher that I was 
ill and then she'll excuse me ! 

(Girl takes novel and reads; Knowledge and Happi- 
ness turn away; Truth advances.) 

Truth (sadly). But that would not be the truth ! A 
Camp Fire Girl is always " Trustworthy " ! 

Girl (sighing, throws down novel). I might as well 



THE MYSTIC SEVEN 9 

be truthful! {Takes up Histary.) I'll try again to get 
these dry dates through my brain. 

(Truth retires; Knowledge and Happiness return 
and stand back of chair.) 

Happiness. I am still here, dear Seeker! 

Girl. I think I can learn them, after all ! (She rises, 
walks up and down studying. Knowledge and Happi- 
ness return to places in semicircle.) Magna Charta was 
signed in 12 15 — William the Conqueror came over and 
the Battle of Hastings was in 1066 — Queen Elizabeth 
reigned from 1558 to 1603 — Mary, Queen of Scots, was 
beheaded in 1587 

Camp Fire Girls (outside). Wohelo ! 

Girl. There are the girls ! Hoo-hoo ! Come in ! 
(Camp Fire Girls enter.) Hello! Where are you 
going? 

First Camp Fire Girl. Tennis ! Come have a game 
with us ! 

Second Camp Fire Girl. Yes, do! It's such a fine 
day! 

Girl. I cannot spare the time. You know I am try- 
ing to follow the " Law of the Fire " so that I may 
become a Camp Fire Girl. " Pursue Knowledge " seems 
to be important, so I am studying my History for 
Monday. 

First C. F. Girl. Every point of the Law is im- 
portant, but to my mind, " Hold on to Health " comes 
first. (Health comes forward, delighted.) 

Girl. But I'm too tired ! I cleaned the dining-room 
this morning ! That's worth a bead, isn't it ? 

Second C. F. Girl (laughing). You'll have to do it 
for a whole month before you can earn an Honor ! 

Girl. Oh, dear ! As long as that ? 

First C. F. Girl. I did the breakfast dishes, dusted 
the dining-room, cleaned my own room and took care of 
baby while mother went to market and I am not too tired 
to play tennis ! 

Second C. F. Girl. Come along ! After you have had 
a good run in this clear pure air and exercised all your 



10 THE MYSTIC SEVEN 

muscles you will feel rested and you will be surprised to 
see how easily you can remember dates. 

First C. F. Girl. Let the Spirit of Health rule your 
life ! 

Girl. I believe you are right ! I will win my first 
Camp Fire Honor in Health Craft ! 

{The three Girls go out arm in arm, singing ''Along 
the road, etc.")* 

Health. Health above all, you e'er should place, 
And all Honors you will win ! 
Health above all ! You'll win the race 
And perfect be, without, within ! 

(Health retires and takes place in semicircle.) 

Truth. Behold, the Mystic Seven, we ! 
Sent hither by Wohelo ; 
'Tis with our aid, you'll agree, 
The Seeker happiness will know ! 

{The Spirits dance round stage slowly and go out.)
